Turning the wadi into a 1,600 m natural walking trail that reaches the historic village of Al-Qurainah.
The project turns the wadi into an extended natural walking trail reaching the historic village of Al-Qurainah, within a protected desert environment, using natural materials and native vegetation to offer a calm walking and exploring experience, with a plan that balances user experience and long-term environmental sustainability.
The wadi is about 1,600 m long with an average width of 35 m, formed by a natural watercourse bordered by farms on one side and a main road on the other.
Highlights
- Public health: encouraging residents and visitors to walk and run in an open, comfortable setting.
- Quality of life: an extended public space inside the wadi close to the town.
- Culture: linking the trail to the historic village so it becomes an attraction tied to local identity.
- Tourism: an integrated walking and exploring experience.
- Materials: stone terraces and path edges, compacted gravel walkways and stone channels to guide water flow.
- Vegetation: local sidr, arak, acacia (talh and qaradh), Indian almond and tamarisk.
- Simple wayfinding elements and soft lighting that reveals the flow of the trail at night.
